EXCLUSIVE MAFS stars reunite! Dave joins Rhi and Jeff at birthday bash for Love Triangle's Alan Wallace at glitzy Zekkai rooftop launch
It was reality TV meets rooftop chic as some of Australia's popular reality TV stars gathered to toast Love Triangle's Alan Wallace's birthday in serious style. The intimate but star-studded celebration took place at Melbourne 's newly opened hotspot, Zekkai – a penthouse restaurant, cocktail bar and nightclub offering sweeping city views, top-tier drinks and luxe vibes. Leading the guest list was Married At First Sight's Dave Hand, who reunited with co-stars Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels, delighting fans with a surprise mini MAFS reunion. Rhi stunned in a silky beige utility-style jumpsuit with a cinched waist and oversized collar, pairing the look with a high ponytail and glowy glam makeup. Standing beside her, Jeff cut a suave figure in a structured black coat and matching ensemble, with the duo looking every inch the fashionable power pair as they posed inside the venue. Meanwhile, the birthday boy himself, Alan Wallace, brought the style in a sage green suit layered over a white tank, holding a martini glass and showing off his bold chest tattoo. He was joined by fellow Love Triangle star Yannick Samarasinghe, who made a statement in a sheer crochet shirt worn open to reveal his toned physique and trademark afro. Also in attendance was Love Island Australia's Zac Nunns, who sported a fitted black tee and white pants, adding some extra muscle and beachy charm to the boys' club. David, known for his signature ink and laid-back charisma, rocked a relaxed look featuring khaki pants, a beige hoodie draped over his shoulders, and a white graphic tee. The four men looked right at home in front of the event's branded backdrop, arms slung around one another in celebration. Alan rose to fame after appearing on season two of Stan's explosive dating series Love Triangle. Known for his tattooed, tough-guy exterior, Alan quickly became one of the show's most talked-about figures. But behind the bold image was a man eager to set the record straight. During his time on Love Triangle, he spoke candidly about the frustration of being labelled a 'f***boy' based purely on his looks, insisting it couldn't be further from the truth. Rhi and Jeff meanwhile have quietly defied the odds – emerging as the golden couple standing from this year's experiment. While other relationships crumbled under pressure both on and off-screen, the fan-favourite duo have continued to grow stronger post-show. Rhi and Jeff are still very much together and taking things at their own pace, away from the cameras. 'They've kept it low-key but are really solid,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia. 'Out of all the couples, they're the only ones who've made it work.'

US reality TV star Chrishell Stause calls out Aussie's ‘f**kboy' behaviour on dating series Love Triangle
Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause has called out Aussie reality TV newcomer Bernie Moredio for being a complete 'f**kboy' on Stan's dating series Love Triangle. Like many viewers, Stause – who hosted the show's reunion special on Sunday – was disappointed with Bernie for following the 'playbook of f**kboys' to a tee while breaking the hearts of multiple women on the show. 'I hope the girls of Australia watch the show and do not date Bernie. Do not let him get away with this bad behaviour!' Stause said during a reunion debrief with Taking on a more serious note, she added: 'And for Bernie, I hope you watch this and you go to therapy, and I hope you grow and become a way better person that would not treat people like that in the future.' To get you up to speed, the show creates five love triangles by matching five singles with two suitors each. Bernie and Chloe Hannigan were among those singles. However, instead of selecting a partner from their respective 'triangles', the pair shared a secret connection on the show and eventually chose each other in the finale. But, in yet another plot twist, just 12 hours before they filmed the Love Triangle reunion episode, Bernie dumped Chloe. 'Bernie was like a grenade that went off in this experiment, and it's unfortunate,' Stause told us. 'I feel like it was extremely selfish of him to waste everyone's time. He's not here for love. He wasted some of our daters' time, then he goes out and he pursues somebody in a whole other [triangle].' 'It was very clear to me he just wanted to sleep with [Chloe]. He had no interest, having dumped her before [the reunion] so that he can then look single and get more girls.' Stause was not afraid to call him out on his 'f**kboy' behaviour in the reunion, which left herself as well as the singles and suitors all fuming at Sydney-based Bernie. 'How are you going to deny it if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck? At that point, he didn't have a lot to say for himself,' she said. 'I just think that it definitely exposed him – this experiment exposed him. He thought he could come in and rule the roost, and it was pretty satisfying to be able to call him out on his BS behaviour.' However, Stause said she believed everyone deserved a second chance – even people like Bernie who are constantly taking dating missteps. 'He is young, so I'll give him a pass if he wants to work on himself,' she said. 'I am all for second chances if somebody were to watch that and then take a step back and be like, 'Whoa, I need to figure some things out.' I think that's super commendable.' 'But it takes a strong person to be able to do that. If the other happens, and he watches this and ends up trying to sleep with people, then it will be more of the same. So surprise us, Bernie. Use this to grow.' Another suitor that Stause called out on the show is Jordan Drew. He was the suitor Payton Ellicott chose in the end, only for their relationship to implode in the reunion when audio of Jordan's distasteful comments about Payton was aired for all to hear. 'F**k you man, you know I'm not attracted to that,' Jordan told another suitor about Payton in an off-camera comment that microphones picked up. 'I asked for small, tanned, ethnic… She is the complete opposite in every single thing.' 'Literally any other girl here I would be into,' he continued. 'If I f***ed her or whatever then I'm like even more of a f***wit. Like, there's just no way I'm not looking like an arsehole after this, dude.' He and Payton were literally sitting side-by-side on the reunion couch before his comment was played for the group. Afterwards, Stause did not hold back, boldly telling Jordan it was clear he went on the show for 'clout'. 'To be honest, I even called him out more than that. I think only certain parts made the show,' Stause tells us. 'I wanted to call him out because it's one thing if someone's misunderstood or if they made a mistake and they feel bad about that comment. But I just didn't feel like there was any room for error about what he meant [in his comment].' 'I personally felt like he was just trying to look good on camera, but we saw a sliver of how he really speaks about women and Peyton when he thought no one was listening – and that says a lot about your character. So I didn't mind holding his feet to the fire. It's obvious to me that he was there for clout.' Stause said that after Bernie's bad behaviour was exposed and Jordan's comment was aired, the tension in the room was next level. 'It was a very tense room. I mean, you had people that very clearly did not want to be sitting next to somebody else,' she recalled. 'When there would be these small little moments for a make-up touch-up or something, it would be dead silent. So what you see was not amped up for television. It was a tense situation.'

EXCLUSIVE Love Triangle star Chloe reveals her biggest regret after her tryst with Bernie after affair was exposed during bombshell reunion
Love Triangle's Chloe Hannigan has opened up about her tumultuous journey on the Stan Original dating show, which ended in an unexpected 'love square'. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia after filming the much-anticipated reunion, Chloe, 25, laid bare her experiences and expressed regret about how one particular aspect of her time on the show unfolded. What started as a straightforward journey quickly spiralled into a complex emotional web when Bernie slipped Chloe a secret note, adding another layer to an already complicated situation with matches Beck and Emma. Chloe admitted she was blindsided by Bernie's actions, which were surprising given their limited interaction. 'I was in a love square by the end of it,' Chloe said. 'I absolutely did not expect this to happen at all – and even watching the episodes back, seeing Bernie so interested in me from literally day one … I had no idea. It was very shocking.' However, the unexpected development eventually led to reflections on the kind of love she desired. During the final reunion, Chloe's secret affair with Bernie was exposed, much to the shock of her co-stars. 'To me, it wasn't ever an option that I'd end up with someone other than Beck or Emma,' she said. 'I'm very structured and organised, so when things didn't go to plan, it threw me off.' The kiss with Bernie may have been spontaneous – but the impact was powerful. 'He couldn't keep his hands off me,' she laughed. 'But more than that – he made me feel validated and heard. It was the first time I felt that all season.' Reflecting on the moment, Chloe revealed her biggest regret was not immediately being transparent with Beck and Emma after receiving Bernie's letter. 'To me, it wasn't ever an option that I'd end up with someone other than Beck or Emma,' she said. 'I'm very structured and organised, so when things didn't go to plan, it threw me off' 'If I was to do it all again, I think my main difference would be the second I received that letter, I would have sat down with Beck and Emma and been transparent with them about what had occurred,' Chloe admitted. Despite the constraints of reality TV production, she feels she should have followed her gut instinct to discuss the situation openly. Chloe's journey on the show was marked by heightened emotions and a rollercoaster of feelings. She admitted to feeling rejected, shocked, and rushed in her various interactions. The reunion rekindled these emotions, with Chloe acknowledging the complexity of her experiences, 'Retrospect is a wonderful thing and unfortunately for me, this is how the cookies crumbled.' Despite the challenging circumstances, Chloe said she was grateful for the friendships and lessons learned along the way. The reunion, an explosive mix of shocks and emotions, left audiences with much to ponder regarding relationships and personal growth. As viewers process the revelations from the reunion, Chloe stood by her decisions, emphasising that her feelings were real and unfiltered. 'I have no regrets with my decision,' she affirmed, reflecting on her choice to steer towards authenticity in her journey on and off the screen. Watch every episode of Love Triangle only on Stan.

EXCLUSIVE Chrishell Stause exposes Love Triangle's biggest FBoy as she lifts the lid on behind-the-scenes secrets from the explosive reunion event: 'He just wanted to sleep with her'
Chrishell Stause has been flown in as a very special guest to host Stan 's much-anticipated season three Love Triangle reunion. And on Tuesday, the Selling Sunset star, 43, didn't hold back when it came to calling out Bernie for his 'gross behaviour' and questionable motives after footage of his secret tryst with Chloe was played back in front to the cast. 'It was just so obvious to me,' Chrishell said. 'He shut down immediately when the daters didn't look a certain way. He wasn't open to taking any form of accountability. 'I understand that's your preference, but the whole point of the show is to be open. I feel like he robbed the other daters of the experience. That already says something about him.' But it was Bernie's short-lived tryst with Chloe that left Chrishell fuming. 'He wooed somebody from another triangle and dumped her right before [the reunion]… It was very clear to me he wanted to sleep with Chloe,' she said. 'He told her whatever she wanted to hear to do that and he didn't want to then be on TV with a girlfriend. He wanted to go out and sleep with whoever he wanted. It's just gross behaviour. 'Whether he wants to admit it or not – and I hope he gets to a place where he can – that was his intention. And I wanted to push him to own it.' Since attending the reunion back in November, Sydney-based Bernie has refused to take any accountability for his behaviour, refused to speak to any the cast or even acknowledge his involvement on the show. 'It's not surprising to me or anyone probably that's dealt with someone like him. He's very charming,' Chrishell explained. 'You see why, he probably, ends up hurting a lot of people because he's never going to be that guy that's able, I don't wanna say that. 'Maybe watching the show back will help him, but I feel like he's gotten away so far... [He's] really just getting away with a lot of things because he thinks he can, and, leading people on and ends up hurting people. 'I think it's nice for people to be able to watch someone like that where it's okay, I'm sure a lot of people have fallen for this before.' The US-based reality star revealed she was shown rough edits of episodes before filming the reunion, which helped her prepare to hold the cast accountable. 'The show hadn't come out yet, so I was being shown rough edits of the episodes before they went to air,' she explained. 'I also got to talk with the producers because I wanted to know – wait, are they really like this? The way that it's coming across? 'I come from Selling Sunset, and I've seen where sometimes something can really be turned on its head and it's not how it went. But that is not the case with this show.' Chrishell said the producers even kept her from meeting the cast until the moment she walked out onto the set. 'They held me back from meeting them until I actually walk out. So yeah, it was just a crazy situation to be able to ask all the questions I wanted to – as if I was an audience member,' she explained. And she didn't hold back on those questions, particularly when it came to men avoiding accountability on dating shows. 'I'm such a lover, I really root for love. But I want people to not be able to get away with that behaviour anymore. Nowadays with social media, it's helped shine a light on things people used to get away with,' she said. 'Bernie is a perfect example. If this show aired years ago, he would've gotten away with it like gangbusters. But we're in a new age now. Women are sharpening up, we're sharing our experiences. 'Gaslighting didn't even used to be a word – we didn't know what it was. Now we know the signs, and we're not falling for it.' When asked how she spots someone faking it for the cameras, Chrishell was quick to point out a clear sign. 'Their words don't match their actions,' she explained. 'If someone is saying they're here for love, but when they thought nobody was paying attention, they spoke about women in a degrading way… that tells you everything. 'They're not looking for love – they need to learn how to love themselves first.' Despite the takedowns, Chrishell insisted she genuinely wants these men to learn and grow from the experience. 'I do root for them to get better. I hope they watch this back and are able to reflect. I've been on Selling Sunset, and the world bombards you with feedback – but sometimes that feedback helps,' she said. 'If you're able to take it on the chin and reflect, it'll make you a better person.' Having starred on The Traitors and numerous reality shows herself, Chrishell said she's was thrilled sitting in the host's seat for Stan. 'I did The Traitors, which filmed in Australia as well – but I'm definitely staying in the host seat for now,' she laughed. 'It's a lot more stressful being in the hot seat!' So would she return for another season? 'Absolutely. I loved working with Stan. I would do it again in a heartbeat,' she said. 'I think we need to find more daters who are genuinely open to the process. 'There's justice to be had for some of the people who went into this with the right heart – and didn't get the outcome they deserved.' Chrishell even floated the idea of bringing Love Triangle to the US. 'America would love this show – it was so juicy. My jaw dropped so many times!' she said. And while she and her Aussie partner G Flip are still based in LA, Chrishell didn't rule out a future move Down Under. 'We always have that as an option,' she teased. 'We love Australia – it's always on the board of possibilities.' As for the advice she'd give to the cast now that the reunion has aired? 'It's going to be hard. There's a lot of criticism that comes with being on a public platform. But if you can be open to feedback - even the bad stuff - you'll come out of it a better person,' she concluded.

Where Do Chloe's Love Triangle Relationships Stand After The Reunion?
Stan's original reality dating show Love Triangle just had a very messy reunion. We had tears, plot twists we didn't see coming, and relationships that imploded entirely. At the centre of all the drama was Chloe Hannigan, who was in somewhat of a love square throughout the season. Chloe's relationship with Beck Schmitz was going well when her second match, Emma Pazarkoski, walked through their front door and caught both of the women's eyes. This is reality TV, however, so a fourth suitor entered the chat: Bernie Moredio. After the Love Triangle contestant poured out his feelings for Chloe in a two-page letter, the pair wound up sharing a kiss at a dinner party. When it came to decision time for Chloe, her initial match, Beck, bowed out of the running altogether — leaving only Emma for Chloe to decide whether or not to continue a relationship with. Or so Emma thought. All hell broke loose when Chloe and Bernie's secret relationship was unveiled during the reunion, including the part where she told Bernie she'd like to pursue a relationship with him outside the show. At the reunion, Chloe promptly branded herself as 'such an idiot', because Bernie had broken things off with her the night before. So, where do these four Love Triangle contestants stand now, and is there any hope for Chloe and Emma in the future? Does Chloe still speak to Bernie? Chloe tells Refinery29 Australia she was 'very broken' while filming the show, and declares she's no longer on speaking terms with Bernie. Good for her, because like host Chrishell Stause said, he was following the 'playbook of f**kboys'. 'Bernie and I have not spoken at all since the next morning [after the reunion],' Chloe says. 'I was quite worried about him. He had a really big night, and a lot was shown… so I checked in with him the next morning, and he just respectfully asked for space, and I have not heard a peep from him since.' While she seems to be in a better place, she has no regrets about exploring her connection with Bernie. 'I think I made the right choice at the end of the day,' she muses. 'I followed my heart, and I think if I didn't choose Bernie, I would always have the 'what if' in the back of my mind. And so I feel very content that I've explored that, and he is most certainly not the man or person for me.' She admits his actions were 'really upsetting and confusing', and made her feel like 'complete and utter sh*t', but everything happens for a reason. Her hope now is to focus on her future relationship, and she's not looking for a Bernie 2.0. 'I'm going to be with someone who is probably 10 times better than Bernie ever could have been to me,' she declares. 'I'm just feeling very optimistic and looking forward to what's to come.' Chloe holds one big regret when it comes to how he handled the whole Bernie-Emma-Beck situation, and that's not telling the ladies about his letter. Due to production schedules, she wasn't able to have a conversation with Emma and Beck about it on camera, and producers discouraged Chloe from having an off-camera phone call. 'That was a real struggle for me morally. I had to sit with that, and it felt wrong. I felt like I went against, I was going against my values and you know, the honesty that I preach so much and the communication,' she recalls. 'I did not have the opportunity to have that conversation in a way that was private, that was respectful, and so yeah, it's awful, and it is my biggest regret of the whole show. If I could do my time again, I would have told them as soon as he passed me the letter.' Does Chloe still speak to Emma and Beck now Love Triangle has wrapped up? Surprisingly, Chloe says she is still friends with Beck after the reunion. While she was 'shocked' by the way Beck stormed out — she expected a reaction from Emma, but not from Beck — the pair have cleared the air. 'I have spoken to Beck about it since, and she opened up to me, and she said the reaction was more so towards Bernie, because Beck and Bernie were also quite close friends, and none of that was shown through the season,' she explains. 'I think, if anything, she almost felt a bit betrayed by Bernie as well, because they were close and they had been messaging between the end of filming and the reunion.' Beck and Chloe have decided to 'remain friends on the outside', and even attended the same finale event on Sunday. While there is no chance of romance, Chloe spills that her friendships with Beck, Ariana Djoric and Peyton Ellicott are 'the best things that have come out of the show'. When it comes to Emma, it's a different story. While Chloe tried to repair their friendship, it appears that Emma doesn't want anything to do with her ex. 'Emma and I have not been in touch. I did try to reach out to her, like a month or so after filming, just to sort of, you know, give her that space, but then also touch base and see how she was,' Chloe says. 'Unfortunately, she didn't respond to me, but I do know that she is in a very happy, healthy relationship. She seems to have found her match. So I couldn't be happier for Emma, honestly. And it's a shame that we lost touch, but you know, that's just how life is sometimes.' It's nice to see Chloe find all the positives out of her bumpy Love Triangle ride. While she didn't come out with a long-lasting relationship, she gave us the bi-representation we so desperately needed on Aussie reality TV, and seemed to have come out reasonably unscathed. More of this, please!
